Your digestive system, or gut, is the channel of communication with every organ, tissue, and cell in your body. It is where health begins, and it is where health can end. That old saying “you are what you eat” rings loud and clear when it comes to the integrity of our health in general. In today’s world of fast paced, fast food, and fast forward, we are making poorer choices nutritionally, and it’s starting to show up for us healthwise. What most people fail to see when it comes to optimizing their health, is that until you address your gut health, everything else is a band aid on a gunshot wound. Since everything leads right back to the gut, healing the digestive system from food sensitivities that are brought on by leaky gut syndrome, candida, parasites, and environmental toxins is always the first line of therapy to begin with. By mitigating the offending foods and substances that contribute to the health issues to begin with, often times anything other than light supplements to help heal the integrity of the digestive system is seldom truly needed. With a digestive system that is intact, the little things that wreak havoc on us in general cause is little, if any, reaction at all. Through cleansing, weeding out the foods and substances that cause sensitivities, and some simple supplements, restoring your digestive health occurs naturally Our Gut Restoration Program follows the Rules of the Rs: · Remove—through colon hydrotherapy we remove the waste and toxins that have accumulated over time causing health issues. A series of sessions is generally recommended to maximize the cleansing benefits. Depending on the condition of your health, how long you have been experiencing them, and what your long term goals are will determine how many sessions and at what intervals they need to be done in. · Rebuild—the elimination of foods and substances that are contributing to your health issues, along with CHT, allow your gut to take a rest and rebuild itself naturally without any stress being placed on it. Just like your muscles need rest from exercise, your digestive system needs rest from the constant beating it takes on a daily basis. · Repair—we use specific supplements to help close the gap junctions in the intestines in order to bring the integrity back to the mucosal lining. Increased space within the villi (the fingerlike projections of the small intestines that absorb nutrients) causes increased porosity of the gut allowing toxins and undigested proteins to pass through the lining of the intestines into our blood stream causing an autoimmune response. This is how we form food allergies. · Restore—Restoring digestive health function ultimately will lead to increased health and wellness in all areas of your life. Establishing proper floral balance during and after cleansing is critical. Our immune systems reside within our intestinal tract and feed off of healthy bacteria. Taking the appropriate strains of flora that target specific sections of the GI tract will help to encourage repopulation of health bacteria. At no time do we emphasize the need to fast or do extreme cleansing. Each program is designed for your specific needs. The foods that are eliminated are based on your specific health conditions. Some may be a little more intensive than others. We do not only heal from what we take out, but more importantly, it is what we add in that will create long-term health and wellness. To Your Health!!
